How it Works

"Real estate investing, even on a very small scale, remains a tried and true means of building an individual's cash flow and wealth." - Robert Kiyosaki

By investing smartly in certain condominium projects in the Philippines investors are able to generate 80% to 85% annualized Internal rate of return (IRR) . It's an opportunity created by the Philippines' booming economy, and one that uses a unique, staggered downpayment model.

A pre-selling under construction condominium

Several property developers in the Philippines offer flexible payment schemes in their condominium project. A staggered down payment means a buyer or investor pays a small amount every month usually about 0.5% (half a percent) into owning a condominium project for 3-4 years.

The developer uses money from several such buyer/investors to fund part of the construction. Typical price appreciation for a condo in the Philippines over the past several years has been roughly 7%-8% annually, and that is a very conservative estimate. This growth is expected to continue. As development nears completion, there would roughly be a 35%-40% overall price increase in their property.

Why You Should Invest in Philippines Real Estate

"Investing in real estate is not only the best way, the quickest way, the safest way, but the only way to become wealthy." - Marshall Field

The Republic of the Philippines, is a Southeast Asian country. It is an archipelago of 7,107 islands located in the western Pacific Ocean. Manila is its capital city. Hailed as Asia's rising star, the Philippines has seen massive growth in the past few years. With its active real estate sector, continued BPO investments and high remittances from OFWs (Filipino Expats), the country is on an upward trend.

Political Stability

There will be no impeachment for President Noynoy Aquino. Despite left and right accusations of corruption and controversies, including disbursement acceleration fund and pork barrel fund, Philippine politics remain and will remain strong, according to political analysts. It's obvious that the democratic political institutions in the country are becoming stronger than before.

Huge housing backlog

One of the longstanding problems in the country is a huge demand (but short supply) for housing among 100 million locals. So without even saying, there is a continuing demand and strength in Philippine real estate, especially in regards to mass housing and midrange sector housing. Government leaders and policymakers, in this case, are expected to decide and make long-term mass housing loans and lower interest rates available. This is a growing need, especially among educators and teachers, soldiers and the military, professionals, farmers, factory workers and OFWs as well as other investors ready to buy their homes.

Economic stability

The Philippines is a fast-rising economic influence in the world; in fact, it has just achieved its "BBB Stable" credit rating, meaning the country has a sufficient capacity of paying its debts on time and in full. Having a "Stable" rating means that it has a strong outlook, which isn't to change within a year. This rating is predicted to increase in the next months due to the economic progress and reforms the country is experiencing, giving it a good, stable financial standing for potential investors for the years to come. (Gov.ph, Credit Rating as of May 8, 2014) Both archenemies Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and President Noynoy Aquino have worked for the long-term economic stability and growth of the country, which means better conditions for real estate investors.

FAQ's

"I made a tremendous amount of money on real estate. I'll take real estate rather than go to Wall Street and get 2.8 percent. Forget about it." - Ivana Trump

General questions

How can I make a staggering IRR by investing in real estate properties in the Philippines?

The whole model is based on the certain facts and assumption. The investors typically pay only less than 0.5% of the property value each month during the construction period. The investment done in small condominiums at right location from top developers and at an early stage of the development appreciates typically at 8% to 10%. This appreciation happens on the face value of the condo and not on the invested amount. As the condominium nears completion, these properties can then be easily resold to the growing upper middle class who need ready to move in condominiums. Since the investor has only invested by paying small monthly installments but the appreciation has happened on the whole property, the IRR is outstanding.

How do real estate funds differ from PH Realty?

PH-Realty is not a fund. Instead, we are a specialized platform for people who wish to purchase real estate in the Philippines.

If you find the property and its price attractive, you can reserve the property by paying a small reservation fee and then continue to pay monthly installments for predetermined period. You can either pay the balance due after project completion or resell the property anytime, in which case the assume balance is paid by the final buyer.
